Stenoma sesquitertia is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Zeller in 1854. It is found in Peru, the Guianas and Brazil.[1]

Adults are pale fawn-colour, with the forewings much rounded at their tips, the curve commencing before the end of the costa. There are three black spots before the middle, and a black dot in the disc beyond the middle. The first spot is in a line with the dot and the second is more hindward than the first, and a little more exterior. The third is elongate, and located behind the second. The hindwings are brownish cinereous.[2]
